    I have never had a bad meal at any first watch location. We came here at peak time...church let out on a Sunday (which we didn't realize because we weren't coming from church) and it was insanely busy. I think we waited 25-30 mins. Once we got in food came out quick and was hot. I will return, but off peak. It's one of the larger locations I've been to, so it was packed.

    I've lost count how many times, I've been here that's how amazing their breakfast are. Always fresh, huge portions, delicious food. One of my favorite breakfast, brunch spot. Below is a few of my favorites items.

    This is our first time in Nashville, and we've been enjoying fantastic breakfasts throughout our stay. Following a local recommendation, we decided to try an early breakfast at this charming establishment. Its vintage decor exudes a delightful Southern atmosphere. The diverse food menu offers a range of interesting and healthy options. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the excellent service. We all left very satisfied and highly recommend this place.

    Blueberry and banana granola pancakes. Grits and million dollar bacon.

    If Panera Bread were a legit breakfast spot, it would be this place. LOL! A real chill place with good service. I had two big different pancakes. One blueberry and one banana granola. Delicious. Great decision. The million dollar bacon was a mixture of sweet and savory. The grits were...ok. Overall a good meal with reasonable pricing. I would recommend.

    The traditional breakfast was very good!

    This is a nice breakfast spot that's located in a great part of town. I came here a bit ago with some friends and it was exactly what I hoped it would be: great food cooked fast. I typically try a simple breakfast when I'm trying out a new place (to make sure they can make the basics well) and First Watch lived up to my expectations. My eggs, bacons, home fries, and toast were cooked well and were very tasty. The service was good as well and I will definitely be back.

    I was several times for breakfast or lunch at this location, but also other locations. There is always a friendly service. It's not a "wow", but more nice people who make you feel welcome. Another important thing is a value, specifically lunch special "2 for you for $8.99. Half Roast Beef sandwich and half green avocado salad is great choice.

    Update: We went for brunch with the entire family. Nice outdoor seating even with two kids and service was great. Coffee (hot and iced) and OJ are so good here. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. She accidentally brought the wrong order for my husband (veggie sandwich instead of a veggie burger) but when we pointed it out she was apologetic and immediately fixed the error and brought the correct food out quickly. Of course we were not charged for the incorrect order and took it home for later (and even it was so good!) We really love this place!

    I love this spot for a good brunch. The wait on a weekend is long but so worth it! The servers are so accommodating and friendly and make the whole experience so nice. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy for the first time ever and was so pleasantly surprised. It was so so delicious! My husband loves the Floridian French toast which is also so good - not overly sweet and a great cinnamon flavor. You can't have brunch without mimosas! 1 drink was enough to share and it was so good and crisp. So happy with this restaurant - it's our new weekend brunch spot.

I visited with my parents during their last trip to town since the restaurant happened to be nearby. Upon walking in, the decor felt a little confusing. The menu clearly presents the restaurant as a grill, but the interior still seemed heavily influenced by what may have previously been an Asian restaurant space. The renovation didn't feel entirely cohesive, which made the atmosphere a bit disjointed. That said, the staff was very friendly, and we were seated quickly. Throughout the meal, however, there seemed to be an underlying sense of stress among the staff that was noticeable despite their efforts to remain professional and attentive. It created a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere at times. For dinner, we ordered the filet with broccoli and French fries, while another guest ordered a salad. Unfortunately, the salad had to be sent back because it arrived with blue cheese despite a requested omission due to an allergy. Thankfully, the issue was corrected. The filet itself was cooked to the requested temperature, and overall the food was fine, but nothing particularly stood out as memorable. Everything was acceptable, though not especially remarkable. Overall, Firebird Grill may work well for larger groups or families looking for a convenient, casual meal, but with so many standout restaurants in Nashville, it's probably not a place I'd personally revisit.

    Food was delicious, service was outstanding, and ambience was very pleasant!!!…read more My husband and I decided to have lunch here, and it turned out to be a great choice. Our waiter, Ryan, was professional and knowledgeable, and his menu recommendations were spot-on--we ended up ordering everything he suggested. For appetizers, we had the Cheesesteak Eggrolls and Ahi Tacos. For our main course, we shared the Shaved Steak Sandwich, which they kindly split onto separate plates for us. We chose sweet potato fries as our side, and I asked for their sweet chili sauce to go with them. I highly recommend doing the same--it was a delicious combination. We finished our meal with the Lemon Doberge Cake. I enjoy coffee with dessert, so I asked for a cup, assuming it might be complimentary. Instead, I was charged $5. I just wanted one cup to go with my $15 dessert. I think upscale restaurants should treat customers to something like that, when the customer is spending quite a bit of money. It's certainly an incentive to keep coming back. Btw, you can get a whole lemon cake for a whopping $99, if requested. To note: some deserts and menu items change wirh the seasons. What we ordered: · Ahi Tacos - Tuna Tartare, Avocado, Spicy Citrus Aioli - $19 · Cheesesteak Eggrolls - Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce, Honey Mustard - $17 · Shaved Steak Sandwich - USDA Prime Top Round, Creamy Horseradish, French Roll, Au Jus - $21 · Lemon Doberge Cake - Six Layers, Lemon Buttercream Icing, Lemon Glaze - $15

It's a sports bar done right wings, burgers, and oysters, with TVs everywhere you look and a menu built perfectly for the setting. Bar food that actually delivers is harder to find than people think, and Jefferson's clears that bar comfortably. Five stars for what it is. I had the buffalo chicken salad with grilled chicken, croutons held. Here's where it gets interesting, they'll toss the chicken in any of their 19 house signature sauces. Nineteen. That's not a gimmick, that's a commitment to the concept. I went with the homemade Angry Ranch on the side, which brings a little heat. Fair warning: it runs a little heavy on the vinegar for my taste, though not enough to hurt the salad. The salad itself was generous, crispy, and fresh, nothing wilted. That matters more than people give credit for. Service was by Emily, who was attentive, got my order right, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Jefferson's knows what they are.
